Clean basic room, close to shopping and fast food restaurants. Parking lot is terrible- in dire need of a major overhaul.

Don't let the outside fool you!
This motel is a hidden gem. Well maintained to high standards of cleanliness. The bed was incredibly comfortable. The staff was most welcoming, and you can tell they take pride as entrepreneurs in the motel/hospitality industry

Need staff to service customers with politeness
The check in was ok. The staff had a wee bit of a chip on her shoulder. The first thing she said was your card was decline. And i told her that on the phone when she called me the day before. From that i assumed that she tried to get the payment before the day of arrival. It was suppose to be pay at the property. Anyway the room was very nice. Very good wifi so i was able to go through some things with my boss with no problems.

Very comfortable and homey interior decor. Very friendly staff who made me feel safe. The heater was difficult to work - it was freezing cold when I arrived and the heat only turned on at 10pm... you cannot set a temperature you just turn on a switch. The property is next to a main road with many food options and gas stations nearby so very convenient during a roadtrip.

Despite our late arrival (11:30pm) the lady in the office was pleasant and extrememly helpful. She got us checked in fast. Helped us with advice for our drive to Thunder Bay and offered us blankets for our pets. If we ever find ourselves doing this cross country drive or move again, we will def stay here!

An old motel but newly renovated that's neat and clean. Good location for travelling north as it is beside the main road to Wawa direction.
